Chapter Ninety-Seven: The End of the Story

Aizen Sosuke is finally leaving.

When all the sacred trees in the void circle began to bloom and began to release signals towards the deep space universe, Aizen Yusuke chose to disappear quietly.

He didn't have much nostalgia, and in the last period of time, his knots and thoughts were already known to these people. And those original people were a little speechless when they knew that Aizen Yusuke was not a person from this universe at all, and it was even difficult to say that it was Aizen Yousuke himself.

They don't know what this person is trying to do, engaging in such an earth-shattering battle, and in the end, it is in exchange for the peace and harmony of those wandering spirits and ordinary people. That's right, before he left, Aizen still improved the power of the geist and the ability of ordinary people again. These people have sacrificed too much, and they have seen too much suffering and suffering, and in the eyes of Aizen Yusuke, they are worthy of help.

It's just that even if they know that Aizen is not actually the Aizen they remember, these people still don't understand why they do these things afterwards. It's just that this kind of thinking, Aizen Sosuke didn't correct it, and similarly, although Kurosaki Ichigo could understand, he didn't correct the views of the Grim Reaper. In the process of the Great Reckoning, everyone said what they had done from their hearts, and expressed their wishes and thoughts for the world. The end result is that everybody actually wants to have a good life, and no one says they want to be sabotage or whatever. Essentially, we all want to live a simple and good life.

Whether it is the Grim Reaper, the Wandering Soul, the Broken Face, or the Exterminator, everyone argues to the end, just because the Corpse Soul Realm itself is limited, and their ideas, their desires, and their lives are constantly multiplying. It's easy to say if it's the ultra-ancient kind, but now it's a problem of tens of millions and hundreds of millions at every turn, how can this be good.

There is no way to solve the problem, so naturally we can only choose the simplest way, which is to consume a certain amount of population and consumers internally. It's just that the Grim Reaper prefer to protect themselves, and so does each side.

So whether it was Kurosaki Ichigo or Aizen Souke, they both smiled and didn't explain the reason for their actions.

The thousand-year-old cultural concepts and traditional concepts have long formed an indestructible stubborn stone in their minds.

How do you convince people that air doesn't exist, that you're not actually alive at all, so you don't have to breathe? This kind of thing will only think you are crazy in the eyes of others, not that it is a great thing.

Even many wandering spirits don't understand why they want to break such a world, why they want to let the originally stable political system of the Spirit King fall apart, but Aizen Sosuke doesn't care about this. He just didn't like it and felt that something was wrong, so he just did it. And although Ichigo Kurosaki does not have the courage to open up directly, he still has the ability to protect such achievements.

The Grim Reapers, who were exhausted by the time of the final battle, were aware of the fact that the Spirit King was still alive.

The current Silent Soul Court and the Corpse Soul Realm can be said to be a mess, and even the West Wing Bureau has begun to plan to come over to see what is going on, in comparison, that is, after asking what Aizen thinks at the beginning, the remaining few days are either cleaning up the aftermath of the civil war or stabilizing the forces of all parties.

In fact, it is quite dark humor, and the original war and pain did not shake these tenacious Grim Reapers. But now the applications from all sides and the related complaints and suggestions have driven these grim reapers crazy. There are even many people who want to invite back the dragon of paperwork, Blue Dye, Yusuke. And this crazy suggestion has even been agreed by many Grim Reapers, and it is also eloquent to say that Aizen Sosuke is not as bad as he said at all.

But no matter what, Aizen Sosuke won't choose to go back. After all, he also has the path he wants to choose, the direction he wants to move forward.

No matter how wonderful this world is, just like the Spirit King said, after just making up for his regrets, he can continue his journey.

"Are you leaving? Don't you want to see your former apprentices and friends? ”

"It doesn't make sense. Just walking on the road, sooner or later we will meet. ”

"That's not a shortage of time, is it?"

"It's lacking. Because I still have some things I want to figure out compared to catching up with them now. ”

Aizen Yusuke looked at Kurosaki Ichigo in front of him, still with that gentle smile on his face, and patted the shoulder of the boy in front of him, who was only a first-year year of high school.

However, although Kurosaki Ichigo seems to be a freshman in high school, he has actually been made up for all kinds of knowledge by many illusions, and he is not weak at all for Chakra's various abilities and calculations. After all, at present, the only one who is willing to stand on the side of the geist is Kurosaki Ichigo.

This was requested by Ichigo Kurosaki on his own initiative. After all, the life of the Wandering Soul Street, seeing them rushing towards the Lingting Court like fireflies really shocked this young man. Moreover, most of the spirits are ordinary people, and Kurosaki Ichigo knows very well what kind of pain and disasters these people suffer in the invisible world. It is also clear what their lives are going to be distorted by these grotesque political systems.

Therefore, compared to those light lives or so-called peaceful lives, Ichigo Kurosaki decided to stand up and protect the safety of the wandering spirit and his family.

Maybe it was enough to just think about protecting your family before, and I didn't think about anything too much. But the more things he watched, the more things he thought about, the more Kurosaki Ichigo felt that what he should protect seemed to be not just his own family. He also wants to protect more people.

"Then, the safety of the geist is up to you. Although it may be painful in the first period, there is nothing wrong with the follow-up. ”

"Will you come back in the future? Maybe after a while, this place will change dramatically. ”

Looking at Aizen Souke in front of him, Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his scalp and looked to the side.

"Miss Hinamori Momo is still going to follow you all the time, arguing with the Grim Reaper for a long time. And those ninjas, actually, I don't really believe it, and they may need you to be in the middle. And the Spirit King guy seems to be just sitting on it, not caring about anything, and it feels like you still need to deal with it. ”

"No, quite the opposite, that's where I don't need to."

Aizen shook his head and said in a low voice:

"These are all things that a mature organization has to deal with. If they want to be a mature organization in the true sense of the word, if they want to really take that external step, all these things must be done. They have to face it and make their own choices. Otherwise, there would be no point in sacrifice and equality. ”

"My existence is just a guide, I just show them that the world and their imagination exists, there are many wonderful things waiting for them in the starry sky, and they are not alone in this world. There are many more, interesting, wonderful things waiting for the Grim Reaper and this world. But if they don't stand up, then it all doesn't make sense. If the Grim Reaper, the master, does not stand up, how can he be praised by everyone? ”

"What I don't want to see is a world that is really controlled by a few, where all people live in pain and despair. Even a little bit of hope, and I want them to realize that those geists can actually help them do things. These paperwork, in fact, are better at geists than the Grim Reapers. After all, they don't need to eat or drink, they can work twenty-four hours a day just by absorbing the spirit seeds in the atmosphere. And for those disciplinary work and related research and development work, it is the exterminator and the void that are even more adept. They are very good at planning for maximum development with few resources in extreme environments. ”

Such a life is just a life of five or six parts living in this world, not a merge into one. This follow-up guidance, for the arrangement of life and documents, also depends on your efforts. Ichigo Kurosaki. After all, only your identity can make these things. Point out their mistakes. ”

“…… It feels like it's a lot of trouble. ”

"If you want to be a savior, to be what everyone praises, how can you not be troublesome? It's a given. ”

Looking at the young man in front of him who was pale and seemed to be very uncomfortable, Aizen Yusuke showed a subtle smile on his face, and finally shook his head and looked at the orange-haired young man in front of him.

Everything in the ninja world made him realize that he was indeed not the same person as the Aizen Sosuke in his impression. And now, the moment of farewell to Ichigo Kurosaki in front of him also made him realize that he was indeed not Aizen Souke. Because the impression of Aizen Sosuke Yousuke would never do anything to treat Kurosaki Ichigo as the inheritor.

Because in the eyes of the original Aizen Yusuke, Kurosaki Ichigo is a person who can communicate, a communicator, and not like himself, who treats Kurosaki Ichigo as an inheritor.

He wants Ichigo Kurosaki to pass on his ideas, and he wants Ichigo Kurosaki to become a better person.

This is something that Aizen Sosuke can't and will never do.

And in the end, Aizen Sosuke also decided to leave some of his things to Kurosaki Ichigo as a final gift.

"My ability to slash the sword is completely hypnotic, you already know that. But as the captain, I will inevitably understand. It's just that I don't know if the power of the swastika is suitable for you, so I've turned it into a blank for now, and you can add as many swastika as you want. ”

Sticking the slashing knife that looked as slender as Hakuratsu in front of Kurosaki Ichigo, Aizen Yusuke smiled and pushed his glasses.

"His essence is to transform ideas into reality and then freeze them. I didn't want the frozen future to happen to me, so I gave up the imprint of my soul. Mirror Flower Water Moon is a very capable slashing sword, but now, it can no longer represent me. Because I'm no longer the original Aizen Sosuke. And the original Aizen Sosuke, the original Mirror Flower Suizuki, to what extent it can be done, it's up to you, Kurosaki Ichigo. ”

"Wait a minute? Can something like a slashing knife be inherited? I don't think these things are like the Grim Reaper grinding for a long time, and then eating and living together, and whatever, so that you can carve your soul on the shallow and use it or something......"

"If these things are true, then how can there be a ranking of the so-called strongest slashing sword or the historical slashing sword? It's all inherited. ”

Looking at the dazed Kurosaki Ichigo, Aizen Sosuke smiled slightly.

"If you have any questions, you can actually ask the Grim Reaper. They actually value you more than they think. After all, you are a person who has been appointed by the Spirit King, and the Grim Reaper, who has a very obvious order of dignity and inferiority, actually dare not do anything to you. Just make an inquiring gesture and they'll tell you. ”

"Oh? Oh......"

"Then, the boy who traveled in trouble, I will have a chance to see you again in the future."

“……?”

When did you become a teenager in a disaster? Aren't they all just hitting?

Listening to Aizen Yusuke's words, Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to raise his hand to ask what was going on, but found that there was no one in front of him.

There are no special effects, no explosive cool timbre, and no so-called love and hatred, and the appearance of unclear entanglement. It's just that just like his quiet arrival, Aizen Sosuke's departure is also quiet. Looking at the slashing knife left on the ground, Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but feel a trace of amazement in his heart.

Slowly walked to the empty platform, and raised the slashing knife stuck in the ground. It was only the moment he came into contact with the Slashing Knife that he realized what terrifying the slashing knife in front of him really had. And the future of this slashing knife, the possible completion of the swastika is actually a blank. This is a special swastika that can be modified at will, and uses the ability of the swastika to create any future that is beneficial to him as long as Kurosaki Ichigo wants to do it.

This is the last gift that Aizen Soukuke gave to Ichigo Kurosaki.

Well, it's for 'Kurosaki Ichigo', not for him.

Actually, he knew it all along.

What Aizen Sosuke saw was not the immature self he was now as a high school student.

He just saw in himself the shadow of the brave Kurosaki Ichigo in the future, and saw the predecessor of Kurosaki Ichigo who made Aizen Sosuke feel that his life had meaning and thought that courage was the real way forward.

Although it is not denied that both are the same person, let alone that there is no change between the two at all. But Kurosaki Ichigo still felt a little weird. I can't tell what complicated feelings I have for the guy who ran over inexplicably to reconcile the world. Maybe to some extent, I don't hate the existence of that guy, but there is also an inexplicable sense of annoyance.

He couldn't tell where or where this feeling of annoyance came from. Maybe it's just that he is really angry, why is he still like this.

Although he has vowed to protect his family and friends, and wants all the spirits to rely on, how much more do you have to do it?

"You guy, in the end, it's still this kind of character that people like but can't like, hate and can't hate......"

Holding the clear sword in his hand, Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the full moon-like mirror, as if he saw someone's reflection.

I heard that the soul of the Slashing Knife is actually related to the Slashing Sword itself.

So what does it look like in the soul that has never appeared in the corpse soul realm, but is just dedicated to Aizen Yusuke alone? Could it be the shadow of Aizen Sosuke in some way? It sounds a little weird.

Holding the mirror flower Suizuki, Kurosaki Ichigo picked up the white haori scattered on the ground and draped it on his body. It was already close to the arrival of the Chakra fleet, and both the Spirit King and the Grim Reaper needed him to testify. Although he was only a freshman in high school, he bravely and fearlessly took on the problem of geismans, and became the recognized king of geists, so he still had to come forward to talk about it.

"That guy, you're walking in style."

Maybe this is the adult I dream of?

Ichigo Kurosaki was dressed in Haori and galloped towards the venue with the mirror flower Suigetsu in his hand.

But on the way to the reception place, he suddenly sensed that something seemed wrong with the time and space in front of him.

With a strange chakra fluctuation, a black sphere silently wrapped around several very embarrassed-looking figures, rolling in a ball on the approach. Several boys and girls dressed in strange costumes and hair colors of different colors roared and fought, looking like they didn't share the sky.

"It's all said, don't keep pressing the chakra teleporter! Where the hell have you left us now! Hurry up and speak up! Otherwise, I'll eat you straight away!" ”

"Didn't I see the indigo dyeer's signal disappear, and I pressed it directly as soon as I summoned it?! After all, you agree with it! ”

"We agreed, but now there is still no signal! What the hell are you looking for a loneliness! ”

"Huh? Just found out and left? Why? ”

These people, who carried huge chakras and caused the enchantment to fluctuate almost instantly, didn't seem to notice that they had been locked in by multiple gazes.

As a user of chakra, Kurosaki Ichigo could feel that there was no special malice or bad intentions in these people. It's more of an expectation, or rather, an obsession with someone you want to meet. And that kind of obsession is also a very familiar feeling for Kurosaki Ichigo.

After all, to be precise, they all want to meet the same person. That person is always like the wind, with his own thoughts, and then rushes into each world, making a mess of each world. In the end, as if he had obtained some result, he left directly in a chic manner, without any intention of staying. It's as if someone behind him is urging him, constantly urging him to move forward.

And now, Kurosaki Ichigo also knows that these people in front of him seem to have inherited the same style and ideas as Aizen Sosuke.

It's the same with them, they're driven by a particular emotion, they want to see someone, they want to see more.

Under the gaze of Kurosaki Ichigo, these ninjas with different looks pulled each other, and then looked at the surrounding buildings, each showing a somewhat surprised expression, as if he had never expected to see some scenes in his hometown here.

"Isn't this the architectural style of the invisible courtyard? After a long time, we crossed back? ”

"I don't know. Don't ask me. ”

"It's obviously the Corpse Soul Realm, the Corpse Soul Realm. The coordinates and system in this seem to have been taught by the indigo dyeing master before, have you forgotten it? ”

"But then again, this is the Thirteenth Team of the Guardian Court, is this where that Aizen guy lived before? If I'm not mistaken, didn't that guy say that he couldn't find the original world at all? Suddenly found it again this time? It doesn't feel like it in terms of coordinates and atmosphere, huh? ”

"It feels like it's just a completely similar mirror world, and the original body that existed in this world has been killed. It can only be said that he is still so cautious......"

"Aren't you afraid that he will suddenly jump out of nowhere and give you a direct blow?"

"No......"

“……”

A group of people muttered for a long time, and then soon seemed to feel something, and they were smart, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Kurosaki Ichigo.

In their senses, the huge energy mixed with chakra and spiritual pressure was constantly accumulating and transforming in Kurosaki Ichigo's body, just like an entire galaxy was constantly dissolving and collapsing in his body, and finally forging a world that belonged to him. This is the energy that has been working in Ichigo Kurosaki's body since the very beginning, and it is also his root.

This is the last gift that Aizen Sosuke gave him before leaving.

"Yo, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, one of the current spokesmen of this world."

Looking at the young people who were dressed in various costumes, with the marks on their heads and bodies that Aizen Sosuke once showed, and Kurosaki Ichigo, who was wearing a haori palm with a cuff on his waist, stepped forward and stretched out his palm to these rolling ninjas in a friendly manner.

"What's your name?"

“…… My name is Kakashi Hagi. Please advise. ”

Wearing a black mask and revealing short pure white hair, the teenager who looked about the same age as Ichigo Kurosaki hesitated, stretched out his palm, and held it together.
